There are always Chaoying trying to attack me [Comprehensive British and American]

——"Arlin!"

The young man who flew towards him was covered in water vapor, his fingers were trembling, and he hugged him tightly: "Great! Great...you're fine."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Peter caught a glimpse of red.

His breath caught.

"I'll take you to treatment!"

Peter picked up the little prince who had lost a lot of blood, and ran into a deserted alley, put a paper bag on his head, and ran to the hospital with a spider thread.

Arlin curled up in his arms.

... The sound of "plop", "plop" heartbeat entered Yarlin's eardrums, mixed with wet cloth and cold body temperature—Peter Parker's panting was very rapid.

He also choked on the water and felt uncomfortable all over.

But relying on his inhuman self-healing power, he insisted on his way.

Peter felt like he was repeating the same mistakes:

On the day Ben Parker passed away, he was like this... He couldn't stop the murderer, and then hugged a bloody person, amidst the smell and stickiness, he greeted—"We are very sorry."

He couldn't help but his eyes were red.

The only difference is the weather.

Ben was killed in summer.

And now...

The snow fluttered in the air one after another, like a romantic rain of flowers.A Christmas tree was placed at the entrance of the store, and cheerful songs were played on the stereo.

The flickering light bulbs and the exclamations of passers-by were left behind by him.

The streetscape keeps regressing——

Yarlin drooped his eyelids, his eyes mottled.

He did overhear May and Peter talking.

With his intelligence, it is not difficult to guess Peter's mind when he deliberately observes the boy's performance... He avoided Peter, not refusing, but hesitating.

……really weird.

It was Peter's words,? He didn't even feel disgusted.

--"That is……"

——"Is the sky containing the birds?"

The metaphor of the god of death came to Arlin's mind.

He recalled that moonlit night: the sky was full of stars, the silver-white light enveloped the earth, and the street lamps came on one by one...

Standing in the warm light, Peter Parker said softly, "I will protect this city. So... don't get hurt again, Arlin."

And how did he answer it?

At that time he...

Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart——

Peter Parker is amazing.

As long as things related to this person and this name can give him comfort, make him realize... how beautiful this world is.

It seemed that the light of the whole night was gathered in Peter's eyes.

That moment.

His heart beat faster for a few seconds.

...my sky?

Yarlin slowly rolled his eyes.

Pure white snow fell on his eyelashes, against the calm emerald green.He was very cold, so cold that he pursed his lips tightly and trembled slightly... the fingers covering the wound froze.

So Peter Parker's tears looked particularly hot.

Like heating.

Drop by drop brushed his cheek.

……

"thump"--

Yarlin's ear was pressed against Peter's chest, and his heartbeat gradually became in tune with the boy's.That's too fast for him - but it fits perfectly with what he's about to say next.

Snow is flying.

Although the festival has not yet arrived, Christmas songs have been sung all over the streets and alleys.The Christmas tree with small light bulbs, gift boxes, and stars stands like an elf guarding the door.

Yarlin reached into the paper bag and touched Peter's side face.

There was blood on his hands.

The smell and feel of blood made Peter grit his teeth.

Immediately, Peter heard him chuckle.

The boy seemed to be completely unaware of his own injury, just like every kid who succeeded in pranking, he smiled happily—"Peter."

Arlin spoke.

He bathed in the snow, wiped away the tears that belonged to Peter Parker on his face, and let the deep red blood cover his pale skin.

It's winter.

Everything was chilling except Peter Parker.

"Let's date."

Yarlin's voice was soft and weak.

He raised his face, his emerald green eyes were as clean as a lake.The boy's tone was gentle and slow, as if he was reading an oath.

With a smile on his face, he repeated quietly.

"Peter Parker."

"Let's date."

After getting the answer, the little prince fainted.

lost.

While he was recuperating from his injury, the incredibly efficient Tony Stark took care of the last few minor details, skipped the open beta, and released the game.

- Success is inevitable.

The holographic technology of Yinpine Star is very mature, and the heroes are not short of contacts.As soon as the game called "Hometown" was launched, it ignited public opinion.

Tony, who is used to being the center of the topic, pushes all the press conferences to Pepper, and then joins other heroes...to listen to gossip.

"...I thought I was the one who confessed first."

Despite the curiosity of many bigwigs, Peter Parker stumbled and finished telling the story of himself and Yarlin, and added a little depressed.

"In my plan, I will prepare a gift, send it in a romantic and beautiful place, and then express my love in a logical way... No matter how I think about it, it is not the same as before."

"My eyes are red from crying, the blood all over his body—"

"Too embarrassing."

Until now, Peter has lingering fears.

The boy's silver hair was pressed against his chest, his slightly upturned face was smeared with blood, and his emerald green eyes were beautiful but blurred.His body temperature was so low that it was as low as snow falling in the sky.

—“Peter.”

Even the voice became so soft.

Everything is like a dream.

The chaotic mood that is about to explode, the noisy streets and singing, the pungent fishy smell, and the extremely clear whispers belonging to Yarlin——

"Let's date."

Such a beautiful sentence, such a cruel situation.

Peter burst into tears.

He held back his sobs and let out a hoarse "hmm".

Then Yarlin lost consciousness - so scared that he almost fell against the wall.The ghost knows how he sent the person to the emergency room safely under the premise of brain failure.

Tony Stark whistled.

Crisp and short, it recalled Peter's thoughts.

"You can find a chance to confess again." The man took off his sunglasses and made a smile.

……good idea.

Peter nodded thoughtfully.

"Now, it's time for you to cheer up and pick up our little prince." Tony patted the boy on the shoulder and joked, "Don't disappoint this suit—the knight next door."

"..."

Peter touched the bridge of his nose, his lips slightly raised: "Okay."

Today is Christmas.

Led by Charles and Tony, the heroes gather at the Xavier Manor for a celebratory dinner: ostensibly to celebrate the success of the holographic game, but in fact to celebrate together... or a welcome party that is months late.

Peter is in charge of picking up Yarlin from the hospital.

The youthful young hero of the past put on a slim suit and combed his bangs, looking elegant, minus the embarrassment or nervousness when they first met.

To increase the lineup, Tony lent him Happy.

then.

When Yarlin walked out of the courtyard, what he saw was:

Peter, who was wearing a dark blue suit of the same style as himself, leaned against the expensive car, kept looking around, and unconsciously rubbed his wrist with his fingers.

Then, the boy met his gaze.

—Peter immediately frowned.

Those clear and bright eyes were bent into crescent moons, overflowing with joy.It seems that the ice and snow melt and the earth returns to spring, and it has a vibrant appeal.

"..."

Yarlin shook his head slightly.

The little prince was dumbfounded for a moment, and returned a smile.

He stepped into the car and sat in the back with Peter.

Ha Bulb Pi:  …

Peter didn't notice Harpy, who was stuffed with dog food, his ears were red, and he confided to his boyfriend excitedly: "There are so many people here today! People from the Cop, the Justice League, the Avengers...even Everyone from the Mutant Brotherhood is here!"

"It's unbelievable that these people would sit together for Christmas."

……

He chattered all the way.

Yarlin listened quietly, echoing from time to time.When he arrived at Xavier Manor, Peter realized later: "... Am I being too noisy?"

"No." The little prince denied.

"I like to hear you talk." He smiled, his emerald green eyes were like streams, shining in the golden sunlight, "This is the first time someone shares these trivial thoughts with me..."

"I like it very much, Peter," Arlin said.

The young man in suit and leather shoes blushed silently.

He coughed a few times to cover up, but he couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth that were crazily raised, and the temperature in his brain was getting higher and higher.Peter tugged on his tie and said vaguely.

"I'm so thirsty. I'm going to get some water."

He turned and left, his back flustered.

Yarlin glanced at the drinking area less than three meters away from him, and then at Peter Parker's erratic pace, couldn't help but laugh.

——"It's so easy to be shy."

A not-so-familiar female voice sounded beside him, expressing his feelings for him.

Husky, magnetic, insouciant and provocative.

Yarlin suppressed his smile and tilted his head: the lady walking next to him had her long hair coiled up, her black dress reached the floor, outlining her slender waist.

"Long time no see," said the lady.

— Diana Prince.

The mysterious lady who bought his paintings at a high price in his most desperate period... Of course, it is not a mystery now.The heroes are all gone.

"You are still not the same as in the painting."

Diana gently shook the goblet in her hand, and looked at the prince from another star with her calm eyes, her tone was elegant and full of charm.

"..."

Arlin was startled.

Diana bought his self-portrait.And stroke by stroke, he copied the busts drawn by court painters for members of the royal family—because he didn't recognize himself who was stranded on the earth, so he chose to paint the former him.

Gentle, brilliant, like radiance...

That was Yarlin Ken without any haze.

Not who he is today.

The boy pursed his lips and smiled.

"no way."

Yarlin and Diana looked at each other, their eyes were silent, like a mountain forest after a heavy rain, revealing the tenacity of the recovery of all things.

There is no sadness in his eyebrows and eyes: "People always change, don't they?"

Diana couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

The boy looked away and looked around.

Wanda is chatting with Hawkeye; Quicksilver is eating a hamburger while guarding his sister; Charles is sitting opposite Magneto, with a chessboard on the table;

The notorious black widow is full of smiles;

Tony Stark seems to have had a dispute with Dr. Banner, and Banner slowly refuted something... probably discussing scientific theories?

Superman dealt with the enthusiastic little mutants; Bat solemnly wore a mask and maintained a precarious vest; Flash glanced at Quicksilver once, looking ready to move;

……

At last.

It was Peter Parker, with red earlobes and a troubled expression after drinking a glass of ice water.

——Yarlin's expression softened completely.

"Compared with painting, I like you now more."

After Diana explained slowly, she nodded slightly in Peter's direction and said with a meaningful smile, "Go——your future is waiting for you."

"……Um."

Arlin stepped forward.

new world.

new life.

New beginning--

He listened to the noisy voice stained with "happiness" in his ears, stopped on the right side of Peter, bent his beautiful and clear eyes, and poked the boy's back viciously.

"cough--"

Seeing his face unexpectedly, Peter choked on the ice water, and while coughing, he narrowed his eyes with a silly smile.

So Yarlin was even happier.

very nice.

Everyone is smiling.

The struggles, pains, and sorrows of the past... were all covered by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.Even if everyone present had a dark time or a long period, at least for this moment——

No one is crying.

01 turned the wheel and picked an angle.

[Do you want to turn on the camera function? 】

【Yes. 】

——"Crack."

The screen freezes.
